Kevlar is a type of aramid fibers which is characterized by high strength to low weight ratio. This material is widely used in bulletproof vests and helmets, in which it creates a barrier to projectiles to protect specific objectives, laminated tubes and pressure vessels, etc. In this study the ballistic behavior of Kevlar /epoxy composite and Kevlar fabric is investigated. The results showed t...

Defects are generated in woven fabric due to improper treatments in weaving machines, spinning errors and inadequate preparations of fiber at the spinning stage. The economic viability of a weaving plant is significantly influenced by the extent of its success in eliminating defects in fabric. Detection of defects is generally carried out by time consuming and tedious human inspection. Such man...

The effects of pressure, water and differential stress on the crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) of olivine were investigated by an integrated study on 13 peridotite samples from four areas in the Western Gneiss Region (WGR) of the Norwegian Caledonides. The highly depleted dunites are mantle residues after Archean melt extraction, while the garnet peridotites were formed by refertili...

Abstract Imageability is the quality of a place that makes it distinct, recognizable, and memorable. It defines character identity for cities. However, fast expansion urban development affects image city its fabric toward mega scale transforms cities local cultural life as loosing most their historic fabrics. These make loose there images gradually. Hence, aim this paper to explore main physica...

Study the effect of blending hydrophilic agent and water and oil repellent agent on cotton fabric property of antifouling and easy decontaminating. The study shows that blending could make the fabric have property of antifouling and easy decontaminating.

In this study, an intelligent computer-aided design (CAD) system is used to obtain an innovative creation for weave structure designs. The system consists of three main parts: user interface, search mechanism, and the simulation mechanism. The user interface can illustrate eight randomly generated (or default) sample patterns on the monitor for the designer to give each of them a satisfying wei...

In this paper we will present a system to use three dimensional computer graphics in garment design. This system is capable to visualize the “real”, i.e. the physically correct, appearance of a knitted fabric. A fast visualization of a physically correct micro-structure garment is of crucial importance in textile industry, since it enables fast and less expensive product development. This syste...

in this work, hydrogel nanocomposites were synthesized by solution polymerization of acrylic acid (aa) and itaconic acid (ia) in the presence of cotton fabric. ammonium persulfate (aps) was used as the polymerization initiator in the presence of a crosslinker, methylene bisacrylamide (mba). insertion of ag followed by reduction of ag+ cations results in a hydrogel nanocomposite. the structure a...

Pattern making is the art of designing patterns by making templates from which clothing and craft items can be sewn. A pattern making process actually help to come out with the imagination of designer from the sketching till real product. Pattern makers are also called ‘Technical Designers’. When Fashion Designers complete their garment designing, Technical Designers starts their work to prepar...
